I decided to create a second entry. But I went in a completely different direction for this one.
My first entry is totally uncontrolled chaos. In stark contrast, this one has a tightly controlled melodic structure, but of course without any sequencers. The first voice is basically an arpeggio, but I felt that an arpeggiator is too much like a sequencer, so I constructed my own arpeggiator out of more primitive modules. Some variant of this design will be part of my next set of VCV Fundamental Constructs, when I finally get around to updating it.
The bass line voice is a simple descending scale created by a ramp down LFO run through a quantizer with equal note probability.
All the sequencing is controlled by ramp waves from an LFO “clock”
I shamelessly stole Purf’s idea of adding offsets to arpeggio steps at random times. I developed a solution to the problem that never backtracks - once an offset is added, it remains until the end of a 16 measure cycle. A ramp “clock” is compared against randomly chosen thresholds to determine when each offset is added. New random thresholds are established for each 16 measure cycle.
